that is how we got the 1997 balanced budget agreement between newt gingrich and bill clinton. so the fact we can't use the debt limit to talk about this, is not true. most people think we should raise the debt limit. because we're talking about credit cards, when you reach your limit, what do you do? you don't just raise it. you're not able to do it you have to deal with the problem. i think this is a opportunity and i think the timing is actually pretty good. let's see what the president has in his budget. i hope it is a serious budget that deals with the spending side because if it doesn't it won't be taken seriously. his last three budgets got zero votes on both the relationship rean the democrat side. the house has passed a budget, the senate has passed a budget. let come together and have our timing by end of the july, that is probably when the debt limit expires because treasury has extraordinary measures they can take us into the end of july. it has to coincide with the august recess. >> and all of our summer vacations. >> yeah, so if this comes together, if we miss thi

to paraphrase bill clinton, "it's not the economy but the ideologies." right here i think we have had major successes overseas going after the leadership of al qaeda, its affiliates, and its franchisees. and we need to continue to turn to the kinetic responses to those terrorists leadership. but we have not done enough to go after the etiology, to expose-- we have not done enough to go after the ideologies. we should dissected and remember the victims. we should really be focusing on the victims, their dreams, their opportunities lost. i think there's much more we can do to expose the hypocrisy and ultimately defeat and attack the ideologies. that's where the which may be dead with osama bin laden or anwar al-aulaqi or some of these other significant actors, which is not trivial. but there narrative lives on and we have to expose that and attack it. host: a question on twitter -- guest: no. the terminology weapons of mass destruction is chemical biological, nuclear. the legal effect is that it causes mass harm. i do feel the statute, the laws we're going

it was a reflection of the respect and fear they have about bill clinton. he has continued to set his sights on service. after eight years in office, he had seen the terrible effects of poverty and illness of those living in the developing world. in launching the clinton global initiative, he continues to widen the constellation of challenges in which he has applied his extraordinary talents and energy. limits on religious freedom, every impediment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. after president of the united states, he could only become president of the world. the praise the respect he receives from both sides of the aisle says big volumes about his character. the man he defeated, former president george h. w. bush said, if clinton were the titanic, the iceberg would have sunk. it has less to do with this sharp political acumen and more to do with his deeply held values and ideals. bill clinton believes in an america that is tied in a single garment of destiny. our fates are bound together and we should work together. a man from hope contin

inincrease the minimum wage 1996 when bill clinton was president. it was frozen at five dollars and $.15 until 2007 when an increase was passed and eventually became $7.25. unfortunately, this has been the history of the minimum wage over the last 30-some years. in 1968, the minimum wage was enough to lift a family of three from poverty with one full-time worker. today, that same family is 30% below the poverty line because the value of the minimum wage has declined so much because congress has failed to consistently increase it, not keeping up with inflation or wage growth, and workers who earn the money wage or just above the minimum wage have been falling further and further behind. take on whys your congress will not raise? the issue has not been joined in this congress as dramatically as it needs to be raised -- joined. we saw the strikes. andwalmart situation here the district of columbia is shining a spotlight on the crisis of low-wage work. we have always had bipartisan support for raising the minimum wage. there has always been a fight to g
